         5 . The vehicle seat according to  claim 1 , wherein the wire member and the plate member are formed integrally. 
     
     
         6 . The vehicle seat according to  claim 1 , wherein the wire member is welded to the one of the side frames and to the upper frame. 
     
     
         7 . The vehicle seat according to  claim 1 , wherein the wire member includes a first part extending from the one of the side frames toward the center of the seat in the left-right direction, a second part extending forward from the upper frame, and a bent part formed by connection between the first part and the second part, and
 the plate member is attached to an upper portion of the bent part at a surface thereof opposite from the support surface.   
     
     
         8 . The vehicle seat according to  claim 7 , wherein the support surface is slanted forward and toward the one of the side frames in the left-right direction. 
     
     
         9 . The vehicle seat according to  claim 6 , comprising a pad supported by the side frames and the upper frame, and a skin material covering the pad,
 wherein the pad has a first hole opened at an upper portion thereof and formed to extend downward,   the skin material has a second hole formed in a position corresponding to the first hole in a front-rear direction and the left-right direction, and   at least a part of the device is inserted in the first hole and the second hole.   
     
     
         10 . The vehicle seat according to  claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a speaker, a sound absorbing member, and a case accommodating the speaker and the sound absorbing member therein and attached to the plate member, and
